I can only say my father's M-80's were home-made with "flash-powder". The same powder used circa 1895 for photographs....very fast burning, very loud in a home-made explosive. Don't ask about filling 35mm film canisters with aforementioned powder with a fuse punched through the cap that was tightly taped to the canister.

Oh I believe you brother. And I may have an M80 or two laying around as well.

“may have”? yeah right!

Yes, I was 9 years old, he wouldn't let me touch them (when he was around)...

I remember my dad launching M-80's (lit) from my wrist-rocket circa 1978....Never shot at animals....but the platform was great for launching explosives for entertainment.

As if I wasn't enough of a danger to myself as it is, now this I don't think I like you anymore
Or any of you now that I think on it. Never had a wrist rocket, maybe it's something I should correct. Thanks guys, you, you, you, enablers you
